The Backwater House sits on a calm channel of the Mulki river, set back just enough from the main backwater to give it privacy without losing the view.
The design is clean and open, three living areas that stack vertically, each one facing the water. The ground floor opens flat onto a deck that runs to the channel edge. No pool, because none is needed.
Bought by people who already have a city house and want something that asks nothing of them.
Mulki is the first town north of Mangaluru on NH-66. The backwaters here are calm and navigable, a contrast to the open beach just a few kilometres west.
The stretch between Mulki and Padubidri has become a quiet second-home corridor for Mangaluru and Bangalore buyers.
